SWEET AND SMOKY BARBEQUE SAUCE



Sweet and Smoky Barbeque Sauce image

Use this toward the end of cooking as you would for any BBQ meat such as pork, ribs, or chicken. I have even used it on beef and hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, or anything you want, for the most part. I use it on everything from ribs to roasts to hamburgers to hot dogs. Even goes good with a good old classic grilled cheese sandwich. This is a great all-round BBQ sauce. Use right away or cool to room temperature, transfer to jars or containers, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months in the fridge.

SWEET N EASY ~ BBQ SAUCE



Sweet N Easy ~ BBQ Sauce image

It's hard to find a BBQ sauce that doesn't have "Caramel Coloring" in it. So, I made my own.. I have to say, my Fiance was extremely happy with this. Now, we can have BBQ any time.

Provided by Paulette Miller

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

BBQ SAUCE
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 c water
2 c brown sugar
1 can(s) 6 ounce, tomato paste
mustard, "koops spicy brown"
pickle juice, "sechler's sweet heat mixed pickles"
BBQ ADD IN'S
left over, chicken
left over, pork tenderloin
2 medium mushrooms, chopped
1/5 c diced tomato's

Steps:

  • 1. Saute Onions in Olive oil until golden. Do not turn down the heat.
  • 2. Slowly add 1 cup of water. Let simmer until onions are caramelized.
  • 3. On a low to medium heat,(2 to 4 electric stove setting) The fallowing is a suggestive, considering every one likes their BBQ differently. Add the other 1 Cup of Water, 1 Cup Brown Sugar, 1/3 can tomato paste, 1 tablespoon mustard, and about 1 ounce(shot glass) of pickle juice to the caramelized onions. Let simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burn.
  • 4. Now that you have your base, continue to add the remainder of your ingredients one at a time, until you have the flavor and thickness you desire. If you want it to be more sweet just add more Brown Sugar. Too sweet add more mustard or tomato paste. You can play with this recipe all you want, it will still turn out delicious.
  • 5. After your sauce has developed a nice base and is thickening, (should be about 2 hours of slow stir's and adding extra ingredients, if your sauce is still too thin at this time, let it simmer longer)you can add your meat of choice, mushrooms, tomato's and let simmer a while longer.
  • 6. For the finalization. Toast some buns, add some cheese, top with lettuce and enjoy! Side of tortilla chips..
  • 7. You can freeze the sauce for future meals.
  • 8. Helpful hint. Each time you stir your sauce, try it.. Make sure the flavor is to your taste. You will need to occasionally add water. Allow the sauce time to thicken and simmer the acidity of the tomato paste out.
  • 9. ENJOY!!

BBQ SAUCE: SWEET AND SPICY



BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy image

If I have the time to make homemade BBQ sauce, this is one of several recipes that I use when I grill or oven bake. This is super quick and easy to make. Hubby really loves this on my Recipe #516009, but it is just as good when used on poultry. If you like a sweet BBQ sauce with a bit of a spicy after taste, this could be the one you want (I actually prefer the more mustard based BBQ sauces, but this makes hubby happy). I'm hoping that you enjoy this recipe, and that maybe you will try one of my other BBQ sauces in the future. *Note: I've stopped "tinkering" around with this recipe because hubby said "It's great as is, leave it alone". (I considered maybe sweating some minced onion to add along with some garlic powder, but it is just so simple and tasty now that I would hate to mess it up. Besides, those flavors are not missed). Enjoy! (*Note added: It is an extremely thin sauce, but can probably be altered to make it thicker... maybe less water or longer simmer time).

Time 12m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup catsup
2/3 cup granulated sugar (more or less, adjust to taste)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (more or less, to taste)
red pepper flakes (to taste, I use about 1/2 teaspoon)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except red pepper flakes in a small size sauce pan. Whisk while heating over a medium-low flame. Once sugar is dissolved, add in red pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking often.
  • Once everything is incorporated, and you've adjusted the taste to your liking, let cool completely and store in an air tight jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator (that's the longest it ever lasted in our house, it may stay fresh longer). If not using right away, mix sauce well, before using. (Nicely fills a recycled and cleaned, 16oz olive jar for storing in the fridge).
  • *Note: While the ingredients have time to meld together in the fridge, the flavor will change a bit. Keep this in mind while tasting during the preparation. A little bit hot will get hotter -- a little bit sweet will get sweeter.
  • Enjoy!
